The City would like residents to clear the nearest hydrant of snow to assist public safety once the storm has cleared.

Advice from Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency:

• If you use oil/propane to heat your home, clear a path to your fill pipe & clear fill vents so that you may receive fuel deliveries.

• Check on elderly family, friends and neighbors to make sure they are in good shape and to see if they need assistance with shoveling .
